Macros 18 Chapter Overview A macro is a function that saves control panel operations and menu operations in a register which can be used to reproduce the same operations. You can save a macro in a register and then recall it as required. There are 999 macro registers on each control panel. Events Control panel operations and menu operations registered in a macro are called "events." Up to 99 events can be registered in a single macro register and a total of 1500 events can be registered in all macro registers. Control panel operations that can be registered as an event Control block Event Cross-point control block • Select cross-point • Recall function assigned to cross- point • Enable/disable AUX mix • Delegation selection in cross-point button row (free assign mode only) • Select a cross-point assign table (ICP-X7000 only) • Recall a cross-point pad page (ICP-X7000 only) Transition control block • Auto transition and cut • Independent key transition auto transition and key on/off a) • Select next transition • Select transition type • Enable/disable pattern limit Transition control • Auto transition and cut block (simple type) • Select transition type • Enable/disable pattern limit Independent key transition control block • Independent key transition auto transition and key on/off a) Control block Flexi Pad control block Key fader control block Device control block Numeric keypad control block Utility/shotbox control block Utility control block Event • Select transition type of independent key transition • Recalling the following functions - Snapshot - Key snapshot - Wipe snapshot - DME wipe snapshot - Shotbox • Effect timeline execution and rewind • Independent key transition auto transition and key on/off a) • Select transition type • Recall key snapshot • Following operations in device/ frame memory/clip player operation mode - Playback - Stop - Fast forward - Rewind - Move to start point - Set start point - Record to VTR/disk recorder - Set frame memory/clip player loop • Recalling the following functions - Effect timelines - Snapshots - Shotboxes • Recall function assigned to memory recall button • Effect timeline execution, rewind, and execution direction selection • Recall function assigned to memory recall button • Effect timeline execution, rewind, and execution direction selection a) In the case of an event that inserts or removes a key, the state at the time of event registration (key on or key off) is also registered in the macro. When a macro is executed, the event is only reproduced if the key state matches the registered state. Menu operations that can be registered as an event Menu operations in the Home menu hierarchy. However, the following menu operations cannot be registered. 303
